Headed to Blaine this evening to check out Chicago Mission U16 team at the NAHL showdown tourney. 5 badger commits are on that team (Smith, Turcotte, Koufis, Lindmark, De St Phalle). I will report back with results and how those recruits looked. The down side is that tickets are $20 per day which is a bummer...

Chicago Mission ended up beating Compuware (solid program out of Michigan) 6-1. Lindmark and De St Phalle had goals, De St Phalle and smith had assists. I thought all 5 recruits looked solid but De St Phalle and Brady Smith stood out last night. De St Phalle impressed me with his passing and it seemed like he never stopped skating out there. Brady Smith is undersized, gritty defender not scared of mixing it up or blocking shots. You can tell he's one of the leaders on a very talented team. I overheard a few scouts discussing how Alex Turcotte is a top ten overall talent. I wouldn't be surprised if this Mission team wins the title this year.

Awesome report. We're going to have to come up with an abbreviation for De St Phalle. DSP or the "dSaint". G2O are going to have such a stacked roster they will have to play in the AHL instead of the NCAA. Every year is gonna be a partly like 2006 every year men's and women's natties.
